I just stumbled across your post while searching for free trade information – I am impressed by the types of worldwide interactions going on between countries interested in the fair trade market. I agree with you about the websites – it would make interactions so much easier if more developing countries made their websites more easily accessible. I have been trying for several weeks to gain contacts in such areas but it is very difficult to find what I am looking for, namely contacts in regions where fair trade is developing. last week I was thinking that I’ll just have to get on a plane and go there myself! that seems like the only way to contact people!

Great article. We always buy African coffee but I didn’t know about this one from Malawi. It is also possible to buy Fairtrade cotton from African now. Power to Africa!

[...] Until the ownership of PanAfricanism is citizen-oriented through the concrete establishment of common economic values, shared social identities, a consensual political front and a more authoritative African Union Commission, pan Africanism shall continue to stay at the level of futile state-centric theses and reactionary anti-theses and the result shall be the ubiquitous power jockey among a rent seeking political elite, the scramble for depleted resources among the emasculated masses and the stereotype image of a continent that has erroneously earned the stigma of "a scar on the conscience of humanity".

@Mark: I also look forward to seeing Starbucks importing Mzuzu Coffee so that you can have a taste of this product from Malawi.

@Mika: From the stats of this blog, I can confirm that many people are listening.If you know some Malawians that side who can work as representatives, please send their contacts to me .I will relay them to Mr Salama who works for Malawi Export Promotion Commission (MEPC) for his action.

@Fair Trade Products:If you know some specific companies that are interested in Malawi’s coffee, please send me their contacts. I will immediately relay them to the Malawi’s Trade authorities.

Hi Clement,

The Malawi stand looks fantastic! There is also quite a surge in demand for green coffee here in the UK. You should look to export some here too

This has really caught my fancy, but is anyone listening out there….. Right now there is a huge market for farm produce as most countries have vowed not to import from Zimbabwe until things get better….. This is our opportunity to cease and impress so to better our economy…. We have Malawian representatives who can help us establish contact points as long as we show interest…. Anyone up for it?!!! It doesn’t have to be the farmer himself, be the middleman and do something…anything!!
